Karasz’s photographs explore the qualities and structures of everyday things. Whether parched soil or cotton wool, the physical nature of subject is the most important focus. Following the ideas of László Moholy-Nagy, she felt that photography could make visible aspects of its subject matter that could not be seen by the eye alone. In each case the resulting image is carefully constructed from a delicate balance of light and shadow across the surface of the material.
